All good at my place. No damage to the house (lots of time to get things stowed away) but heaps of branches down out the back. Only got 48mm in the rain guage, but with the wind gusting to 140kph, I'm not sure how accurate those things are. Went to bed about 4 am after seeing the BOM radar indicate the eye had passed to the west of us.

Ya gotta love Queensland, eh?

Marcia (category 5) Crosses the Coast in 1.5hrs to coincide with huge King Tide...a perfect storm surge. (Note Cyclone Tracey was only a category 4!)

It will still be a category 1 when it reaches inland Munduberra on the Burnett River. Good luck guys! (Can tha Drop Bear Swim?)
